1. HOLY WARS...THE PUNISHMENT DUE

Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don’t understand

Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God’s command?

A country that’s divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand

The end is near, it’s crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don’t look now to Israel
It might be in your homelands

Holy wars

Upon my podium as the know-it-all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel’s bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox
A leader out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die

They killed my wife and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake...last mistake!
Paid by the alliance to slay all the giants
Next mistake...no more mistakes!

Fill the cracks in with judicial granite
Because I don’t say it
Don’t mean I ain’t thinking it
Next thing you know
They’ll take my thoughts away
I know what I said
Now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings

Mercy killings
Mercy killings
Killings!
Killings!
Killings!

Next thing you know
They’ll take my thoughts away


2. I WISH YOU WERE A BEER

Hey there poser!
You look pretty stupid to me
Hey there poser!
I’m broke and it’s half past three
Hey there poser!
Creeping towards the door
Hey there poser!
I wish you were a beer!

I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
Can’t breathe with all this Aqua-Net!
I wish you were a beer!
(Shut up!)

Hey there poser!
You look pretty stupid to me
Hey there poser!
All dressed like a wanna-be
Hey there poser!
Creeping towards the door
Hey there poser!
I wish you were a beer!

I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
I need a machete just to get to your face.
I wish you were a beer!
(Shut up!)

I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer
I wish you were a beer

Hey dude...
Are you in a band?
Ya look good!
Hey, fuggedaboudit!
I wish you were a beer!


3. STRANDED IN HELL

Come on a journey, come on, take a chance
We’ll take you where you’ve never been
Where fire is ruler and pain brings on lust
A world full of unholy sin
Where sickness and madness are taken in stride
And virgins are burned at the stakes
Try to get out if you can you’ll escape
You’ll break free before it’s too late

Stranded in hell
Ring Satan’s bell
There’s nothing else you can do
Stranded in hell
Hear your death knell
‘Cause the master is coming for you

Chained up and shackled you can’t see a thing
A blindfold lies over your eyes
You are bleeding from scars where the crosses were cut
And no one will answer your cries
You feel an invasion but what can you do
No one will help you down here
And as he lifeblood is leaving your veins
Insanity takes over fear

Stranded in hell
Ring Satan’s bell
There’s nothing else you can do
Stranded in hell
Hear your death knell
‘Cause the master is coming for you

You are a demon of unholy flesh
The red fire burns in your eyes
Now as you travel up towards earthly planes
Bearing a human disguise
Finding the mortals to trick and deceive
Promise them power and fame
Take them to hell where you’ll capture their souls
Teach them to torture and maim

Stranded in hell
Ring Satan’s bell
There’s nothing else you can do
Stranded in hell
Hear your death knell
‘Cause the master is coming for you
Stranded in hell
Ring Satan’s bell
There’s nothing else you can do
Stranded in hell
Hear your death knell
‘Cause the master is coming for you


4. ALONE

I scream at the sky, it’s easier than crying
I’m shyish when I’m shouting out loud
I feel so alone in a room full of people
I’m loudest when I’m in a crowd

I’m alone and nobody hears me
Can’t nobody heal me?
Won’t nobody help me?

I’m alone, I just need
Someone to take my hand and pick me up when I’m feeling down
Someone to take my heart and give it a home
Someone to be with me and help me through the times when I’m down and lonely
Someone to be with me when I’m alone

(I’m alone, all alone)
Alone is the way I live
It’s not the way I want it but you know you can’t give in
Alone is the way I feel
It’s so hard to understand why I’ve got to be alone

If you look in my heart you’d see it
I’m trying to be something better
If you look in my heart you’d feel it
I’ve got to keep moving on
If you look in my heart you’d know it
I’m just trying to make my world better
If you look in my heart you’d see it
I got to do it alone

I’ve been down, I’ve been down
I’ve been down, down, down so low
I’ve been lost, so lost with no place left to go
I’ve had emotions, emotions that you better hope you never know
Sometimes it feels like I just can’t take no more

If you look in my heart you’d see it
I’m trying to be something better
If you look in my heart you’d feel it
I’ve got to keep moving on
If you look in my heart you’d know it
I’m just trying to make my world better
If you look in my heart you’d see it
I got to do it alone

Seems like things just keep getting further out of hand
Why can’t for once things just go as I plan
How dare you, how dare you tell me that you understand
Let me tell you straight out, there ain’t nobody here that can

I’m all alone
I’m so alone
To be alone
Just leave me alone

If you look in my heart you’ll see it
If you look in my heart you’d feel it
If you look in my heart you’d know it
I’m not trying to make no one bitter
I’m all alone
I’m so alone
To be alone
Just leave me alone

I’ve lived in places that you wouldn’t never ever want to be
Places where for a minute you couldn’t ever stand to be
I’ve seen things, I’ve seen things you’d never want to see
So what gives, what gives you the right to be the judge of me

I’m all alone
I’m so alone
To be alone
Just leave me alone

A room full of people
Can’t nobody heal me?
Can’t nobody help me?

I’m alone, I just need
Someone to take my hand and pick me up when I’m feeling down
(When I’m down)
Someone to take my heart and give it a home
(When I’m down)
Someone to be with me and help me through the times when I’m down and lonely
(When I’m down)
Someone to be with me when I’m alone

(I’m alone, all alone)
Alone is the way I live
It’s not the way I want it but I know I can’t give in
Alone is the way I feel
There ain’t nothing quite as sad as a person that’s alone


5. SOULS OF BLACK

Can’t you see that in the world we live in
Political lies are just corporate decisions
They’ll take away all the hopes, not their promises
They’ll put an end to this land of the livin’

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

They got control of the heart of a nation
Their social bribes seem so graciously
As time goes by ‘cause time as you can see
Will slowly die for you and me

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

So put an end to this idolization
Antagonizing so commonly
Open your eyes ‘cause the lie’s there so plain to see
Life goes on there’s no guarantees

Look at the lost souls
They seem so black
Look at the lost souls
Souls of black

They’re bleeding so black


6. THE TOXIC WALTZ

Here’s a new dance craze that’s sweeping the nation
It’s called the toxic waltz and it’s causing devastation
You’re jumping up and down like a psycho circus clown
Slamming with waltzers all the way around
You get caught up in the whip, you’re thrown into a flip
You aim for someone’s head to stain the floor red
Give someone a kick to prove you’re truly sick
Bounce back from some blows and blood runs out your nose

Flailing round and round and you’re injury bound
Waltz it up! The pit is it!
You can take your chance on this rough new dance
If you dare! To dive in!
There are some that try but they won’t survive
They don’t hit! ‘Cause they’re wimps!
And this exercise helps you brutalize
With us! Exodus!

Everybody’s doin’ the toxic waltz
Kick your friend in the head and have a ball
Come on and do the toxic waltz
And slam your partner against the wall
Everybody’s doin’ the toxic waltz
Good friendly violent fun in store for all
Get up off your ass and toxic waltz
If you hit the floor you can always crawl!

Used to do the monkey, but now it’s not cool
The twist and mash potato are no exception to the rule
So don’t be a dunce and dance like a runt
Just throw your elbows with good friendly violent fun
Don’t start to cry if you get a black eye
Just dive back in and give another try
But too much action may leave you in traction
So you better get insurance, no matter your endurance!

Flailing round and round and you’re injury bound
Waltz it up! The pit is it!
You can take your chance on this rough new dance
If you dare! To dive in!
There are some that try but they won’t survive
They don’t hit! ‘Cause they’re wimps!
And this exercise helps you brutalize
With us! Exodus!

Everybody’s doin’ the toxic waltz
Kick your friend in the head and have a ball
Come on and do the toxic waltz
And slam your partner against the wall
Everybody’s doin’ the toxic waltz
Good friendly violent fun in store for all
Get up off your ass and toxic waltz
If you hit the floor you can always crawl!

Get up on your feet
Don’t look so obsolete and thrash like an athlete!
Don’t sit there on your ass
Don’t look like you’ve got too much class
You’ll be harassed!
You know we guarantee this is the key
So rage or get the third degree!
You begin frontal assaults
And start your somersaults and do the toxic waltz!
Do the toxic waltz!
Do the toxic waltz!
Do the toxic waltz!

Do the toxic waltz!


7. COMA OF SOULS

Masters of war
Merchants of false peace
Bleeding the lives of the lost
Feeding them terminal disease
Breaking the rules
No matter who gets hurt
Wholesaling useless filth
Charging twice what it’s worth

Freedom of thought a mirage
The coma is endless and deep
Feeling so worldly and wise
Fooled by the friends that we keep

Spirits on ice
They’ll never be free
One-dimensional lives
Will the coma of souls outlive eternity?

Children are pawns
For generals to play with and kill
Mercy will never be found
Where mayhem is done for the thrill
Righteous crusades
Murder to honor a god?
No one is saved
Dead bodies shrivel and rot

Freedom of thought a mirage
The coma is endless and deep
Feeling so worldly and wise
Fooled by the friends that we keep

Spirits on ice
They’ll never be free
One-dimensional lives
Will the coma of souls outlive eternity?

Deep in the unconscious mind lies the oldest wisdom
Buried by centuries of war and inquisition
Truth is raped and crucified by men with savage brains
And greed flows forth in endless waves from fools to wretched slaves

Coma of souls!
Coma of souls!!


8. BEG TO DIFFFER

You make the right moves, I beg to differ
Rather be a fool and see things clearer
You found a quick way to fill your pocket
That’s the way in a world that’s lost it

To fall in line...

It’s meaningless!
Mindlessness!
I beg to differ!

Disharmony amongst all our brothers
That’s okay, be true to our grudges
No desire to walk beside you
Nothing positive when forced upon you

(So fall in line)
Just fall in line
(So fall in line)
Just fall in line
(So fall in line)
Just fall in line

It’s meaningless!
Mindlessness!
It’s meaningless!
Mindlessness!
I beg to differ!

Beg! Differ!
Beg! Differ!

(So fall in line)
To fall in line
(So fall in line)
To fall in line
(So fall in line)
To fall in line

It’s meaningless!
Mindlessness!
I beg to differ!
Meaningless!
Mindlessness!
I beg to differ!
Beg to differ!


9. BATTLE ANGELS

An army of vengeance invading from the sky
Hot wings of iron pierce into the night
Slaughtering the lost souls, the fruit of evil’s womb
Their heathen ways have sealed their door

Echoing across the distant skies
The shout is heard, battle angels cry

You’ll all fall on your knees and hail to our dawn
Crawl on your knees, the slaughter is on

The battle is raging, attack formation set
Hot blood flows through the streets, their pact is kept
To rape and kill the martyr who dwells within this shrine
They did not heed the warning signs

Descending from the clouds they hunt you still
Battle angels kill your forces of will

You’ll all fall on your knees and hail to our dawn
Crawl on your knees, the slaughter is on

Fall on your knees and hail to the our dawn
Crawl on your knees, the slaughter is on
Fall on your knees and hail to the our dawn
Crawl on your knees, the slaughter is on

Slaughter!


10. MARATHON

Getting off on catastrophes
To run away from reality
Scores of people in writhing pain
This is the country that has to reign

See an end to all of our hopes
Put every fool on the end of a rope
A rising force and the power grows
Wake the sleeping giant that no one knows

Keep fighting for your life
You’re in a marathon race now
I don’t need to show you proof
‘Cause no one wants to hear the truth

You’ve always been on your own
Protecting the brothers and the blood
Tomorrow’s another day
And he who fucks with you pays in spades

Morality’s an all time low
A fucking laugh wherever you go
Everyone’s looking at the past
You know the world ain’t gonna last

Keep fighting for your life
You’re in a marathon race now
I don’t need to show you proof
‘Cause no one wants to hear the truth

You’ve always been on your own
Protecting the brothers and the blood
Tomorrow’s another day
And he who fucks with you pays in spades

This is what is all about!


11. SWITCHBLADE SERENADE

The sound you hear is the knife cut
Switchblade Serenade
Cut!

I gotta wicked woman
Woman got a vicious tongue
Late at night I come home a little drunk
And we go one on one

Sittin’ in the kitchen listenin’ to your bitchin’
Every night of my life
You made this home a combat zone
You cut me like a knife

Woman you’re tougher than leather
You make it hard on me

We got problems, baby, that’s okay
‘Cause I’m still lovin’ you anyway
If we put down our weapons for just one night
Maybe we can make it right
But we just fight about it

Tell me I’m wastin’ my money
Tell me I’m wastin’ my time
Hangin’ with trash spendin’ my cash
On cheap talk, whiskey and wine

You just ain’t the same girl
Same girl I used to know
Love and hate seem to be our fate
And it cuts me to the bone

Woman you’re tougher than leather
You make it hard on me

We got problems, baby, that’s okay
‘Cause I’m still lovin’ you anyway
If we put down our weapons for just one night
Maybe we can make it right
But we just fight

The sound you hear is the knife cut
Switchblade Serenade
The sound you hear is the knife cut
Switchblade Serenade

I gotta wicked woman
Woman got a vicious tongue
Late at night I come home a little drunk
And we go one on one

The sound you hear is the knife cut
Switchblade Serenade
The sound you hear is the knife cut
Switchblade Serenade
Switchblade Serenade
Switchblade Serenade!


12. THE HUMAN FACTOR

I just can’t believe my ears, some music out these days
The human factor has diminished in, oh, so many ways
Fancy footwork gets top bill and I’ll put on such a show
One more Midi cable and my band is ready to go

One more moneymaker and I’m set for life
Stealing from others will make my future bright

One: make some money
Two: overexpose
Sincerity is felt much more
When the human factor shows
When the human factor shows

I just need a sample ‘cause no one says it’s wrong
It’s so easy to rip-off using someone else’s songs
Everybody wants to be a star in modern days
But if I don’t have talent then I’ll just get by this way

Changing programs faster than I dare to say
Musicians all make mistakes, who needs them anyway?

One: make some money
Two: overexpose
Sincerity is felt much more
When the human factor shows
When the human factor shows

I just heard a song today I think I’ll use a part
Incorporate it my own way and that is just the start
I’ll change the lyrics that they wrote to satisfy my needs
I wrote the book “Two easy steps: How to succeed”

I just can’t believe my ears, some music out these days
The human factor has diminished in, oh, so many ways
Fancy footwork gets top bill and I’ll put on such a show
One more Midi cable and my band is ready to go

One more moneymaker and I’m set for life
Stealing from others will make my future bright

One: make some money
Two: overexpose
Sincerity is felt much more
When the human factor shows
When the human factor shows
When the human factor shows
When the human factor shows
